I did higher and spent a nice 15 at the end colouring them all in, as I finished early and got bored. Most of it was OK but I didn't have any idea about those two symbols were at the end.

lol all i did for the question about anufacturing was draw a diagram of how injection moulding works and would work with my design and put a few notes :p:

hopefully my coursework will bump up my mark too...got 88/90 so thats like an A right?
and that drill check..yeh that totally threw me :confused:

88 out of 90! Surely that's an A*? I got a mid B. Great. I missed out on loads of paperwork. I did no modelling, evaluation, final design or anything important, I thought I was going to get a D!
